Subject: Passive Radiator system for 18" subs


I found stryke audios last night and am interested in possibly doing a settup with there 18" passive radiators for my kicker comp vr dual voice coil subs I use in my home. These are the newer style and specs are qts.-.365, vas-14.86, fs-16.4 hz, and Xmax-14mm. Im sure it would require at least 2 of the PR's per enclosure, but it is either this or a transmission line style box, and would much prefer to get the added spl near the fs out of a much smaller pair of boxes(the trans line settup would be enormous for just one of my subs, 54" wide x 72" tall and 40" deep), and am tired of sealed box sound. I have an earlier model 18" comp vr with the single voice coil in a 9.5 foot box for a q of .5, and the sound is good, just low power handling. With newly built 5.5 foot sealed boxes for my 2 new 18's, for a q of .7, I am seriously dissapointing in the performance of the 15 to 25 hz range even room loaded. Please help, I know nothing about PR settups!!!
